We're a small organization with a big vision & heart

Co-Founders

Patty Closser and Greg Closser - Co-FoundersGreg and Patty Closser founded A Great Day Farm in 2013 to create a welcoming, accessible environment for individuals with significant support needs. Inspired by their experiences raising their family, they designed the farm so that people with disabilities have the freedom & autonomy to explore, play and relax. You can find Greg and Patty most days working on projects to enhance the grounds and create a more welcoming environment for all.
